Outer London Funding

Neil Garratt: How much mayoral funding has each London borough received each year since May 2016? Please give a breakdown of where the funding has been allocated from.

The Mayor: The GLA does not have this information readily available. Any data produced would be highly subjective without extensive context, and any conclusions drawn from the data on face value alone are likely to be incomplete.
Mayoral funding supports activity across London, but not on the basis of either distributing or delegating funds via London boroughs. For this reason, any data that could be provided on mayoral funding received by borough would not be particularly meaningful. Any expenditure recorded against London boroughs would be in the normal course of business and in return for a specified activity or supply, for example for the Affordable Homes Programme, rather than an allocation of funding as per the question. Allocations of funding are made on the quality of the individual bid rather than geographic location.
Officers will consider in due course how such information can meaningfully be gatheredto draw appropriate conclusions and whether undertaking the detailed work required would provide value for money.
